You are currently undergoing family dental treatment, but there is a difficult area to treat, and I am concerned.
It seems there was a tooth that had fallen out among the lower teeth before.
But it has moved towards the side where the tooth is missing, and the gap where the tooth was is now very narrow.
So, they say they cannot do implants.
The gap where the tooth is missing is the third position when viewed from the molar side.
The molar has a slight cavity, so after cavity treatment and a partial inlay, the treatment will be complete. (Before treatment)
The teeth in front of the missing one are clean and free of cavities.
There are two treatment methods.
✅ When preparing a decayed molar (1) for a crown, attach and fix the adjacent tooth (2) together (1+2).
If only one molar with a cavity needs treatment, a partial inlay can be used, but for fixing the adjacent tooth, the method involves grinding it down and placing a full crown.
✔Advantage: Healthy tooth (3) can be preserved as it is
✔Disadvantage: May have weak adhesion
Another thing
✅ How to fix the missing molars on both sides by attaching and connecting three parts (1+2+3).
✔ Peak point: securely fixed
✔ Disadvantage: One healthy tooth needs to be shaved down
I'm unsure about the best way to treat this and am 고민이네요.
What should we do in this case?
